Best Healthy Shop Bought Snacks

Personally, I love making my own snacks as I know the ingredients that go into them are pure and healthy. However, making snacks can often be time consuming and sometimes when I am feeling lazy I can't be bothered! So recently I have been searching the shops and thought I would let you guys know my favourite snacks.

Graze Box

I have been ordering a graze box to my house every two weeks for over three years now and I absolutely love them! Especially as I don't even have to leave my house! You simply put in your preferences online and they will send you a box catered to your liking. The main thing that I love about this is that you get a variety of snacks that are all equally tasty and nutritious, and now they sell individual graze box pots in loads of shops too!  Here is a codes that will allow you to get your 1st, 5th and 10th boxes free: VF35XY7YB


Nakd. Bars

I have always seen these around but never really looked into them. But then one day I bought the chocolate orange one from Tescos for lunch and discovered how much I love them! The best thing about them is that they are tasty whilst being gluten, wheat, and dairy free with no added sugar or syrups. On each bar the ingredient list is literally three or four items long. For example on the Cashew Cookie bar the ingredients are 51% Cashews and 49% Dates! The bars I have tried are Cashew Cookie, Peanut Delight, Cocoa Delight, Cocoa Orange and they have all been really nice (especially with a cup of green tea ).


Deliciously Ella Energy Balls

These energy balls are some of the nicest that I have ever had. The two flavours I have tried are cacao and almond which tastes like brownies, and hazelnut and almond which equally tastes like chocolate too! Therefore, these are really a great alternative if you are trying to get away from processed foods as they are all natural. The cacao and almond flavour is made of: almonds, almond butter, dates, coconut oil, cacao powder and a pinch of salt. Although, these are a bit expensive so if you have time I would recommend making them yourself! The places I have seen them being sold are Waitrose, WHSmith and Starbucks!




Eat Natural Bars

The only flavour I have tried of these is almond and apricot with a yogurt coating but it was so nice. The only disappointing thing about them is there small size when compared to the Nakd. bars but they are cheaper. Also the ingredients are not as raw as some of the other snacks as in the apricot bar they are: Yoghurt flavour coating 30% (palm kernel oil, sugar,  whey, dried yoghurt, emulsifier: sunflower lecithin), dried apricots 14%, shredded coconut 14%, glucose syrup, crisped rice (rice, sugar), chicory root (inulin)7%, honey, chia seeds 2%, 2%, rapeseed oil. Native chicory inulin - 7g per 100g (3g per bar). Although this is still a lot healthier then any processed snack.


I hope the helped you on your hunt to healthier snacks!

Please leave any questions below and let me know if there are any healthy snacks that you love!

Thanks,
